Rosie

Let’s Meet Little Rosie

Rosie was the lone pup that hitched a last-minute ride on Stars transport.

She is a tiny tot just now but as with all rescues we really cannot say how big she will get.

She is small for an 8 week old pup and we do think she [probably has some staffy in her – that’s all we have got!

She may be tiny, but she is not a shrinking violet.

In foster mums' words –“I swear this girl has the heart of a lion and the diva demands of a Bichon Frise - she’s a Sass Queen!

Super cute and playful, she definitely thinks she is a lap dog.

Her favourite place to sleep is cuddle up with the resident Schnauzer Walter or foster

She’s doing really well with the crate training, and she goes there now looking for food.

She settles quickly in her crate - she does cry dramatically but it’s for less than a minute then she lies down and goes to sleep.

Once settled she is only waking once in the night and that’s for a toilet break.

Rosie is super playful and absolutely loves zoomies with another dog, she could do them for hours.

She loves to explore, she’s very inquisitive and will definitely need a secure back yard.

She also loves little quiet places, if you cannot find her, she is likely fast asleep in her open crate or the back of the closet.

She is a baby and is a toe and pyjama leg biter, but she does respond well to a firm no and will stop.

Rosie is a people dog and loves kids but be aware the puppy teeth are sharp, and toddlers’ toes are probably not ideal.

She is in care with a cat who she is not too interested in.

Rosie absolutely loves praise; her little tail is one of the waggiest we have seen

She’s progressing with potty training, put her on the grass and she will almost always do a wee, the rest is a work in progress sorry.

She loves toys, chewy ones and cuddly ones so lots of those are in ger puppy wish list.

Rosie is a good eater but she’s not food obsessed, if she’s not super hungry she will have a nibble in her crate, leave and then let you know when she wants to go back in.

She’s a bit of a sook, she loves people but is also happy with a bit of alone time loving to play on the grass in the sunshine.

Rosie is in foster care at Thornlands and her adoption fee (which includes desex at one of our partner vets when she is 6 months old) is $625.

She is microchipped, flea and worm treated and vaccinated to date - any future vaccinations are the responsibility of her adopter.
